Sharing space inside the same galleria that houses the flagship stores of these top brands, Lokhandwala claims her location actually works best for buyers and sellers. “The people who walk into these big stores are the same ones who offload their old bags at my shop,” she says.

Predictably, Louis Vuitton creates the highest demand among both men and women. The most expensive item sold so far is a bag from the fashion house, which originally cost R75,000, but was traded for R38,000. Fendi, Bottega Veneta, Chanel and Gucci round up the top five.
